Our Sweet Bella

Author Notes: This takes about five days after the big talk with the Cullen's. Very sorry for the long update but I have been really busy, also inspiration didn't come to me for this chapter, even though I know what I wanted to happen I couldn't put down in words, how annoying, this chapter has also been rewritten many times. Please enjoy anyway. Any suggestions how Bella finds out about Jacob being a werewolf, I honestly don't know how to do it.

Chapter 29

Bella's POV

"Come on Bella just a bit," Mike said shoving the lighter in my face. I was holding a cup of beer in one hand and Pot in the other. We were at a party at Tyler Crowley's house, it had most of the senior class here, also some guests that decided to crash and the party was getting a bit rowdy. I was sitting with Mike, Angela, Ben and Jacob, who was here as Tyler said to invite anyone, which looking at some of the shady characters everyone took that invitation, if I didn't get out of here soon this party would end up being raided by the cops.

"Don't push her if she doesn't want to try it, she doesn't have to," Jacob said as always coming to my rescue and at that moment I was grateful for him. Angela was getting pressured to try it as well, she locked eyes with me and shrugged, she lit her Pot and took a tentative inhale of it, five seconds after it entered Angela's mouth she was coughing all over the place, to all of our delight.

"That's disgusting!" Angela exclaimed shoving it back in Ben's hands. Downing the rest of her drinks to get rid of the taste. I took a look at the Pot in my hand and shoved it in my bag, with every intention to flush it down the toilet.

"I'll try it later," I explained. The lads gawked at me and finished their Pot, god boys were idiotic.

"I don't see why you won't even try it," Mike stated. Way to add pressure Mike.

"Because she doesn't want to," Jacob said coming for my defence, not that I needed it. "Stop pressuring her."

"Light up dude it's a party," Mike said clearly stoned.

"Dude, who actually says dude anymore?" Jacob asked laughing, pissing off Mike

"What are you even doing here? This is a party for the senior class, last time I checked you didn't go to Forks High, actually you're not even a senior, maybe you should hang out with people your own age and play with your little dolls." I swear Jacob was shaking again.

"Mike don't, Jake's my guest, I asked him to come," I said, I hated it when Mike got like this.

"Not that I have a problem with him, but I really don't want to corrupt any minors, I mean come on it's almost past ten O'clock, way past his bed time, don't worry Mommy will make you some hot Chocolate and tuck you into bed, " Mike said laughing. He held up his hand expecting Ben to high five him, but Ben just ignored him and Mike quickly put his hand down.

"You know something Newton, I maybe younger than you, but I can still kick your ass, so you better shut the hell up before you make a little trip to the hospital," Jacob said standing up towering over Mike. Mike now looked intimidated and clearly was shaken at the size of Jacob even though he was two years younger than him.

"Jacob, calm down," I said I knew that Jacob had a temper. Jacob seemed to calm down a bit but he was still staring at Mike with clear hatred in his eyes. Without another word Jacob stormed off, I thought about going after him but I turned to face Mike who was also watching Jacob's retreating figure.

"What the hell was that about?" I demanded.

"What? I didn't do anything," Mike said trying to act innocent but I wasn't buying it. "It was all him, that guy is weird."

"Jacob's not weird and even if he was, that is no reason to attack him like you did," I was close to shouting, why was Mike acting like this, like such a Jack Ass. I turned to storm off.

"Bella I'm sorry, don't leave," Mike said grabbing hold of my arm. I shrugged him off me.

"Don't follow me," I said and walked off to find Jacob.

Jacob was standing outside, leaning against the wall.

"Remind me why you date that guy again, I mean he's always been kind of a jerk but I let it go, because I didn't want to upset you, but tonight was the last time I put up with any of his shit. Why do you put up with him?" Jacob asked. It was something that I asked myself.

"Sometimes he can be really sweet," I replied, but I realized those times were far between. I leaned on the wall next to Jacob.

"Yeah, he's a real sweet heart," Jacob said and I laughed. "Seriously Bella, you can do so much better than him. He doesn't deserve you."

"Then who does?" I asked, but I was expecting his answer and was practically kicking myself for asking it.

"Me," Jacob said in barely a whisper, Jacob was looking at the floor and I was glad, I didn't want to look at him when I said this.

"Jake, don't do this," I pleaded with him I didn't want to get into this now.

"Bella I have to at least try, I will regret it if I didn't," Jacob said and he grabbed my face in his hands and looked me in the face. "Bella I want to be more than friends with you. Can you honestly say that you love this Mike, if you do, I will let it go, but I don't think you do?" I thought about that and I the fact that I had to think about it, I knew that I didn't love Mike and I wasn't sure if I ever could.

"Jacob I do care for you, but not in that way, I love you as a friend," I said even though it really sounded lame and stupid.

"Sounds like a rehearsed line from a bad chick flick," Jacob said and I had to admit it did.

"But it's still the truth Jake, I'm sorry but I just don't think I can look at you any way but my friend." A part of me wondered maybe I should give it a try, he was my best guy friend and we basically told each other everything but it just didn't seem right, but part of me knew it wasn't right with Mike but I kept on trying to hold onto it, even though my heart wasn't in it.

"Yeah I figured as much but I had to try and I'm not going to give up, soon you will realize that we are perfect for each other," Jacob said. I honestly doubted it but I didn't say this out loud. We were perfect as friends. "Do you want a lift home?" Jacob asked and just like that he was my friend again.

"Better not, I better go and talk to Mike, well more like shout at Mike for being a jerk." I smiled.

XOXOXOXOXOX

"Mike's looking for you," Ben announced when I came back to the party. "He's not very happy."

"Mike's not happy, he was the one who treated Jake so horribly, and I don't really care if he's unhappy. Where is he anyway?" I asked I wanted to get this cleared up.

"I think he went outside, careful he's a bit drunk he downed at least two shots while you were talking to Jacob," Angela said. Mike didn't hold his alcohol well and I knew that he could be an ass because of it.

"Thanks," I murmured and went out looking for Mike. As said Mike was outside around the back, another beer in his hand.

"If you are looking for an apology, you're not getting one," Mike slurred the moment he saw me.

"I just want to know why you said those things to Jacob," I said.

"I'm fed up of him always being around, he is obviously in love with you and I can't take him eying you up all the time," Mike said.

"How many times do I have to tell you that there is nothing going on with me and Jacob, we're that all," I argued I was fed up of saying the same thing to stop Mike getting jealous and paranoid. "If you can't trust me, why are we even going out?"

"I trust you, but I don't trust the kid, he's just waiting for you to dump me, so he can make his move and you expect me to be nice to him, fat chance of that happening," Mike said.

"You don't have to like him, but I can't take the fact that you're at each other's necks the entire time you're around each other, so you've got to find a way to be around each other," I said. I doubted that either of them would listen, but I have to find a way to stop the fighting.

"Fine then I will try, but remember I'm only doing this for you," Mike said and grabbed me and kissed me, he starting to pull me out of the way so people wouldn't see us. He proceeded to put me against the wall and the kiss intensified, which I wasn't sure ifI was comfortable with. Mike then started to feel up my shirt I instinctively slapped his hand away. But again Mike tried again and I slapped it away.

"Oh come on Bella," Mike pleaded. Did he honestly think I'd let him feel me up in a dark alley I think he has me confused with someone else.

"No Mike, do you really think we're going to make love in a back alley because it's never going to happen," I said and managed to push Mike off me.

"Your right, let's go and find a private room." Oh yes because that is exactly what I meant. What an idiot Mike was sometimes?

"That's not what I meant, not now anywhere, I'm just not ready," I whispered.

"But why not, come on we love each other, we can be each other's first time, there is no one else in the world I want to spend this wonderful experience with." Again with the love confession did Mike think I love him even though I have never said these words to him and I wasn't sure if he did actually love me.

Once again Mike kissed me to get me in the mood, for a lack of a better phrase. I pushed him of me and in his drunken state he tumbled backwards.

"You're a tease Bella," Mike slurred out. How was I a tease? I have never led Mike on and it was never my intention to lead him in any way. I have made the boundaries of our relationship very clear well I thought I have.

"Your drunk go home and sober up, we're not having this conversation, when you're in this state," I said getting pissed off by Mike's actions. Even if it was the drink talking I don't think I could just let this go.

"Come on Bella just one more kiss," Mike said standing up wobbling while doing so. I shook my head.

"I think she asked you to leave young man." The unmistakeable voice of Carlisle said as him and Edward entered the alley. I don't think I have ever seen Carlisle angrier as he summed Mike up, who looked intimidated by Carlisle's presence. But Edward looked more hurt and upset than angry and he wasn't looking at Mike he was looking at me.

"Who the hell are you?" Mike asked rudely.

"It doesn't matter who we are," Edward said coldly never taking his eyes of me.

"What does matter is that you tried to force yourself on my daughter," Carlisle said and Mike's opened widely as Carlisle called me his daughter.

"That's not what happened," I muttered in Mike's defence even though it may have looked like that, but Mike would never do that, well I don't think he would. "What are you doing here I don't need your help?"

"It didn't look that way to us," Edward said.

"I had it under control," I said, getting angry, did they realize how embarrassing this was for me. Mike looked even more uncomfortable than me. "Mike you should go, I'll talk to you tomorrow." Mike looked at Carlisle and Edward and ran quickly out of the alley not looking back.

"Bella what exactly happened here?" Carlisle said kindly but I still wasn't going to answer him.

"Nothing I'm going to talk to you about," I said and I knew that I sounded like a spoilt brat but this was so embarrassing but at least it couldn't get any worse.

Until Emmett turned into the alley with a huge grin plastered his face. "What's going on here?" Emmett said wriggling his eyebrows at me.

"Oh just kill me now," I mumbled it was as officially worse.

"I didn't know you had it in you, squirt," Emmett said and I grimaced at my nick name from Emmett. Emmett raised his hand for a high five. "This is the moment I will remember for a long time, when my little sister came a woman."

"Nothing happened Em," I said, knowing that Emmett wouldn't believe me. Knowing Emmett he would never let this go, he would be still ripping me for this moment for the rest of my life.

"Sure it didn't," Emmett said winking. "Tell me later, if you don't want the oldies to find out about it."

"Emmett we were having a conversation here," Carlisle said.

"No it's alright Emmett we were just finished, I have nothing else to say anyway," I said dismissing Carlisle's words. I just wanted to go home and forget this day ever happened.

"Bella, I know your upset Bella, maybe you can talk to me about it," Carlisle said.

"No thanks, well not now, I'd rather go home," I said getting ready to leave.

"Bella…" Edward said this time but I ignored him and I walked off.

Jasper's POV

I was waiting for Bella outside the party, Alice said that she needed someone to talk to and she might listen to me, anything was worth a shot at this point. We were all willing to do anything to get Bella to forgive us. Anyway my wife was nearly always right. We hadn't spoken to Bella in five days and it was driving everyone mad, according to Alice again Bella just needed time to think things over, it was only natural.

So I decided, well Alice decided for me, that I would talk to Bella. I could finally smell Bella coming towards me and the whiff of pot. She still hadn't seen me.

"Should you be smoking that," I asked innocently, I knew by the reek of humans coming out of the house that most of them were smoking Pot but I expected better from Bella. Bella jumped at the sound of my voice and spun around, I nodded towards the Pot in Bella's fingers.

"I usually don't but I needed something to take the edge off," Bella said blushing she threw the Pot on the floor and stubbed it out with her shoe. "It's disgusting anyway." I smiled at that, I had no idea what was like but Bella's face told me all I needed. "What are you doing here Jasper?"

"Alice said you may need someone to talk to, so I thought I might offer you my ear," I said smiling hoping Bella will feel more comfortable.

"I'm not sure I'm ready," Bella replied. "I don't mean to ignore you but I had a lot to think about and I'm still not sure what I want."

"Bella we told you because we want you to be part of the family again. We didn't mean to burden you with our problems and if you wish it we won't bother you again."

"That's the thing I don't know, what I want, part of me wants nothing to do with the supernatural world but maybe it's too late for that." Hated to admit it Bella had been part of our world since we met her and there was no taking that back. "I also want to be part of your family, I was never happier than when I lived with you." I knew this was what my family felt as well.

"We all feel the same," I said wanting Bella to know that.

"I know that in a way, but it's not that simple and we can't go back the way we were, never mind how much I want it," Bella said.

"Bella this may seem a bit forward but I don't care, can you handle the fact that we're vampires," I asked I just needed to know.

"Honestly that doesn't bother me." Now that surprised me most people would be horrified by that fact. "I just not sure if I want to be part of it, I mean how will this affect my life, what happen when I go to college, you won't follow me there would you."

"I don't know we do move about a lot and Princeton and Yale are great schools." I smiled.

"How did you know where I'm thinking of going to school?"

"Alice," I answered simply.

"Of course," Bella muttered and I laughed.

"Yeah there really is no peace in our family, with Alice seeing your every move and Edward hearing you're every thought, it's amazing we haven't killed each other. Not that Edward's ability matters to you. Emmett wanted me to ask you, if you have any idea how he can block Edward's ability."

"I don't even know how I'm doing it, how can I teach Emmett," Bella said, which would upset Emmett he was fed up off Edward 'cheating' every time they fight.

"Yeah I know, but Emmett won't give up so easily," I said knowing that Emmett would pester Bella for ages. "But being serious again, I don't know what will happen in the future, that choice is yours and we just want you to know, that we love you and miss you." Bella thought for a moment.

"Jasper I know you mean well, but please don't take it the wrong way, but I still need time to think things through but I'm glad I've spoken with you, it's made me feel better," Bella said.

"Well we're here for you if you need us don't forget that, Bella everyone wants to see you again so maybe you can come and visit us again without it turning into an argument," I said and Bella nodded. "Hopefully we'll see you around." I went to walk away.

"Thanks Jasper and I will think about it," Bella said and I smiled.

"No problem."
